A real "Dancing With Gaia" moment
Here is a great note I got from Ruth, the woman demonstrating aikido in "Dancing With Gaia".... Jo
"I want to share an aikido story I think you'll appreciate.
Three weeks ago I went to San Diego for a three day aikido seminar with Patrick Cassidy. It was an awesome seminar and the whole thing was done to music! I had an experience training there with one man that was in the realm of magic, both of us connecting so harmoniously, in sync with the music, and just glowing. I've never had such an experience training like that. It was like dancing. Dancing with Gaia!
I found this quote from Cassidy Sensei in an online interview,
“When the rhythms of the music are in sync with your movements, you have the experience of something moving through you rather than something coming from you. That is the experience we are looking for that sense of being connected to something larger, coming into touch with a context that contains both uke and nage. The music is a catalyst for that."
